Mason,
I am probably going to purchase one over the winter as I cannot carry nearly enough gear in a haversack. I posted something similar to your posting and one of the members said they had one and were happy with it. Like you said, I to may find it difficult to recruit a private to carry the hospital knapsack all over the field.

I carry my pocket kit in my drs bag from civilian practice with some bandages and some medicine bottles, stethoscope, the basics for my aid station. I add and detract from the basic kit as is neccessary.

Good setup and it makes the point to spectators without overwelming them. The point I always try and make at these type of presentations is the basics of 19th century medicine/surgery and that the majority of doctors did the best they could with the knowledge available.
